    Those are model 32, not the larger 31 PA horn the OP asked about.

    Regardless, I imagine there's more 32A horns than 700 series WE drivers nowadays and its smaller throat would be a poor match up to Altec 1" exit drivers, so still see no market to clone these unless someone comes up with a milled reduction sleeve. Then there's the matter of having a custom 15" made with enough BW to ~match the original.

    If the OP is actually referring to the cast 32B, then yeah, I'd like to see these made available at a reasonable price.

    Hmm, just dawned on me that these should have a 15" driver, not 12"........... I'm guessing they did this to get the extra HF BW ideally required at the expense of some LF 'fullness'.
